I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

I never know what to expect going into memoirs, but I loved this one. I switched between reading the book and listening to the audiobook, which was narrated by Jennette McCurdy. I think hearing it read in her voice made it a lot better, too. Definitely gave me a new perspective on her, and made me feel bad for enjoying iCarly when I was younger, even though I had no clue the magnitude of what was going on.
